    Past simple

    អតីតកាលធម្មតា

    Lectured by
    KEAN KHANN VANDA
    In regular one-syllable verbs with a
    single vowel followed by a consonant,
    we double the final consonant when
    adding -ed to make the past simple:

    stop: The bus stopped suddenly.


    plan: Who planned this trip?
    Spelling and verb forms
    Past and -ed forms
    The past and -ed forms are the same in regular verbs.
    The following are the spelling rules for regular verbs.
    We add -ed to the base form of the verb:
    clean → cleaned echo → echoed email → emailed sail
    → sailed
    If the word ends in -e, we add -d to the base form of the
    verb:
    agree → agreed dine → dined love → loved
    If the word ends in a consonant + -y, we change the -
    y to i before -ed:
    apply → applied cry → cried
    There are three common exceptions, where we change
    the -y to i after a vowel and just -d is added:
    For regular verbs, we add -ed to the base form of the
    verb (work–worked) or -d if the verb already ends
    in e (move–moved).
    + I, she, he, it, you, we, they worked.
    (full form)
    I, she, he, it, you, we, they
    did not
    − work.
    (short form)
    I, she, he, it, you, we, they
    didn’t
    ?+ Did I, she, he, it, you, we, they work?
    (full form)
    Did I, she, he, it, you, we, they not
    ?– work?
    (short form)
    Didn’t I, she, he, it, you, we, they
